Tim Cook’s Apple watch has ended
Tim Cook concluded his 15-year tenure as CEO of Apple, during which the company's stock soared over 2,000% to become the second most valuable globally, with revenue and profits quadrupling. While some criticize Apple's slower adoption of AI features and the underperformance of its Vision Pro headset, Cook is credited with building a valuable connected ecosystem and expanding the success of hardware like the Apple Watch and AirPods, as well as the services business. John Ternus will succeed Cook.
Cook's leadership transformed Apple into a multi-trillion dollar tech giant by focusing on ecosystem integration and expanding product lines beyond the iPhone. His successor faces the challenge of navigating the AI revolution and maintaining Apple's competitive edge.
